    Good question. And although Australia is on the map, it has no number next to it.

            @Mik That was interesting. I think it is brain damage. I cannot imagine that is more comfortable for them. From the documentatry, it does not seem like there is a physical problem with their back which forces them to do that.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                          I didn’t either. Very interesting. I did notice the airport was busier than passenger traffic would be.

                            I know that with Russia airspace not available, a lot of Europe airlines have cut back on flights to Asia because of the added costs because they have to fly longer. Probably effects the Anchorage airport also.

                                Polar route does make a big difference. During the 90’s we ran weekly drilling, workover and service crew change charter flights out of Calgary and over the Pole into Surgut in Western Siberia. Flight time was 10.5 hours direct. The normal scheduled route was Calgary - Frankfurt - Moscow - Surgut which at minimum totalled 22 hours flight time excluding stopovers and (inevitable) flight delays between Moscow and Surgut or Nizhnevartovsk.

                                    I bought one of these today. The old one was about 20 years old, very old for a lawn tractor.

                                    Now they come with a hose attachment that blows water on the blades to clean out the blade housing. I had never seen that before, a great idea.

                                      I don’t think I knew this.

                                      Seems odd. He seems like the most anodyne president we’ve had in my lifetime. Maybe anger at the Nixon pardon?
